Does yours have an adjustment for the pressure to voltage
ratio? I haven't found one on the controller I have.
There's a variable resistor inside, I believe that's what
it's for. Not externally adjustable, though.

You need more, like the now-standard 7-wire Pollack connector,
to get everything and the brakes.
